100%

at 147-154 I'm confident to say its a close to physically impossible as anything is in boxing.

The guy had a huge reach, absolutely brilliant jab, moved like a gazelle and hit like a mack truck with that right hand.

damn, its so rare to see an unanimous agreement that one boxer absolutely dominates a division without a doubt.

Theres a good number of guys with a punchers chance vs Tommy, but thats about all they have

his chin wasn't great for a top guy, and once he got hurt his legs went bambi like and he didnt recover well..

but its not the china chin its often seen as... it took great punchers like Leonard, Hagler and Barkely to stop him...

Barkley wasn't a great fighter but he sure as hell could punch...he gets underrated too cause idiots just look at his boxrec and see lots of losses.

he was a rugged guy

No one is saying Hearns dominates the division, Leonard would always be better and many welters have a very good chance of breaking that china of hearns. BUT I think we're all in agreement that purely based on boxing conservatively, behind a jab, moving and winning points, very few could do that to Hearns.

Roy Jones jr at 154? I bet on him to put a clinic on Hearns.

At 147 I'd pick Ray Robinson - But how about Sweet Pea? Too small maybe?
